Why to fear when no tax evasion is done or not propagating revolutions in a democratic secular country. May be India is just surveying if things are not so bad as viewed by its masses among some of the alleged foreign corporation cum alleged NGO working on ground in India -

Search did not come weeks after ……it came when warranted. BBC has recourse to Indian courts - let them argue their case out !! Till then shut up !

ban bhi kardi yahan dekhne ke liye aur ab yeh sab kar rahe hai. isse acha thoda kachra saaf karwa do cities se

India: the new China

Modi channeling his inner Nixon.

It's a Lesson for every Media House...You just cannot spread fake news and propaganda and Evade it...You can not endanger democracy...Hope BBC will learn a lesson from this...
